Blackbird Setup

With luck my new (to me) BB 1.1 dbl will be arriving today. Anything I should be aware of as I set it up? I will be switching out the straps with whoopies and using my old toggles and straps. I will only have about 90 minutes to do that this afternoon and I will be setting up (at a familiar location) in the dark later in the evening.

I have slept 2 nights in a WBBB 1.0 dbl, but the owner who loaned it to me had already set it up with whoopies, so it was not a big deal.

Tendertoe, I will have to look at that tonight, as I don't have You Tube access at work (actually, I do have a security override, but it is my personal policy not to view anything other than work related videos during the day. )

Edit: the tracking # says it's out for delivery as of 8:21 am today.

You are too good! Thanks a million! It is probably arriving now, but I am stuck here waiting to get off in another 5 hours!

In my old hammock, I have tried to hang my head end higher with poor results; however, I can see that with the footbox, it would more effective with the BlackBird.
